Germinal Center Output Is Sustained by HELLS-Dependent DNA-Methylation-Maintenance in B Cells
Investigators showed by a newly generated B-cell-specific Hells conditional knockout mouse model that HELLS ((Helicase, Lymphoid Specific) played a pivotal role in T-dependent B cell responses.
[Cell Metabolism] Using exercise and sarcopenia models, mice lacking IL6Rα on T cells demonstrated deficits in regulatory T cells, their functional maturation, and a more pronounced decline in muscle mass.
[Communications Biology] Based on the up-regulation of catabolism and down-regulation of anabolism, researchers showed genetic mutation-mediated metabolic reprogramming in the progression of cancer cachexia by screening for metabolites and investigating their direct effect on muscle atrophy.
[Acta Pharmacologica Sinica] Researchers investigated the effect of myeloid-derived growth factor to postinjury neointimal formation and the underlying mechanisms. Rat carotid arteries balloon-injured model was established.
